LETTER: Trayvon Martin was stalked, judged and murdered

Poor Trayvon Martin was a victim of “judging a book by its cover” and George Zimmerman was the judge. This tragedy was senseless and should not have happened. I think there was more involved than racial bias. Martin was a teenager wearing a hoodie, and was out late at night, though he was on his way home. That, however, is no excuse for murder, and I believe that is what it was, plain and simple.

I don’t care what the jury’s reason was for acquitting this smug, self-satisfied, overzealous vigilante. I have believed him guilty from the night it happened. And, no, I am neither young nor of color, but a senior citizen who despises judgment and injustice. My heart goes out to Trayvon’s family and friends and my prayers are with them.

At the end of the day, God will judge George Zimmerman, just as Zimmerman judged Trayvon Martin, only God’s will be a right judgment.
